Team USA is off and running at the 2026 Milan Games, taking down Latvia 5–1 in Game 1 — and Jonny Lazarus is joined by Colby Cohen, Tim Kalinowski LIVE from Italy (Snapback Sports), and Stefen Rosner to break it all down. The crew dives into the chaotic opening period (including two disallowed goals), whether the U.S. truly “set the tone” early, and why the pace driven by Charlie McAvoy and Quinn Hughes could be the difference in this tournament. They unpack Tage Thompson’s power-play finish, the all-lefty second unit look, forward ice-time distribution, and why rolling four lines might be a luxury most teams don’t have.

Tim checks in from Milan with behind-the-scenes atmosphere, fan vibes, and an all-time story that turns into an unexpected interview with Matt Boldy’s dad, while Rosner weighs in on the Brock Nelson breakout game, why Auston Matthews still feels like he has another gear, and the looming goalie decision heading into a back-to-back weekend.

Presented by bet365 — whatever the moment, it’s never ordinary.

Canada made their much anticipated tournament debut, defeating Switzerland 4-0.

Meanwhile, Hilary Knight scored her 14th career Olympic goal, drawing her into a tie with Kathryn King and Natalie Darwitz for the all-time American lead.
